How long will it take to get a criminal court date?
Ok i was arrested over a month ago. I made a stupid phone call (prank) phone call to a co worker thinking it was funny which it was... well the guy got mad and called the police and decided to press charges. I was arrested and released no bail or jail or anything like that. I was charged with terrorstic threats the case was transferred to the county procecuters office. Since the indident the guy says he doesnt want to pursue the charge anymore. I had my lawyer contact the proscuters office and they stated they are having trouble getting ahold of the victim i have still not heard anything... I have since been suspended from work because of this because i have a public job. Its been 5 weeks now suspended without pay... anyone have any knowledge about how much longer this may take?? I live in NJ
Answers:
Terrorist threats tend to make ones life inconvenient. Next time use your brain!
It could take weeks, or months, or years for the prosecutor to follow up..
The only thing you can do to speed it up is offer a plea bargain, or plead guilty. Other than that, if you wait it out, the clock (statute of limitations) might preclude any prosecution -- but that could take years.
